BACKGROUND
The best measure of body habitus as a risk factor for chronic disease is not well defined. Our intent was to examine the relation between waist-hip ratio (WHR) and body mass index (BMI) as… (More)
We present new estimates of the observed rates of SNe determined with the control time method applied to the files of observations of two long term, photographic SN searches carried out at the Asiago… (More)
PURPOSE
The present study investigated whether the conceptualization of hip and knee osteoarthritis pain implicit in the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC) and Medical… (More)
The anti-contractile effect of perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) is an important mechanism in the modulation of vascular tone in peripheral arteries. Recent evidence has implicated the… (More)
Mutations in CD2-associated protein (CD2AP) have been identified in patients with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS); however, reports of CD2AP mutations remain scarce. We performed Sanger… (More)
Perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) is cushion of fat tissue surrounding blood vessels, which is phenotypically different from other adipose tissue depots. PVAT is composed of adipocytes and stromal… (More)
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE
KV 7.1 voltage-gated potassium channels are expressed in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) of diverse arteries, including mesenteric arteries. Based on pharmacological… (More)
CCD BV RI photometry is presented for two type Ia supernovae 2000E and 2001V, for SN Ib 2001B and SN II-P 2001X. The parameters of light curves and absolute magnitudes at maximum light are estimated.… (More)
CCD UBV RI photometry is presented for type Ia supernova 2004fu in NGC 6949. The light and colour curves are typical for this class of objects, absolute magnitude at maximum and decline rate are in… (More)
